3. Designing the Interface
Interface design involves the selection and arrangement of elements that comprise the whole layout of a Web page.
Interface design involves understanding user behavior and clearly identifying potential users.
Designers must clearly identify the audience(s), purpose(s), and context(s) of their site to identify users.
User preferences and limitations should be assessed with respect to navigation, content, technology, and expertise levels.

4. Interface Elements The major elements in a Web interface include:
site header
navigation
search
help
content
contextual cues
graphic identity
Most of these elements are found explicitly or implicitly in a typical interface design.

5. Visual-Spatial Approach
Visual-spatial thinking provides a unique understanding of:
User perception within their field of vision
Consider how users
Focus
Select
Discern
Conceptualize elements

6. Visual-Spatial Approach
Knowing the visual syntax
e.g. the normal viewing pattern used by our eyes when scanning a page or screen
Helps designers arrange interface elements on a screen

7. Visual-Spatial Approach
Guidelines for visual-spatial design should incorporate the five concepts:
Visual focus
Problem solving
Contextual
Conceptual
Wholeness

Who are the primary users?
What will be typically done on this site?
What information will be supplied by this site?
Are there special requirements?
Technological
Language
Will feed back be present?

12. Interface Testing
A basic interface test should involve viewing a site using the following:
a variety of platforms
browsers and versions
screen resolution settings
color depth settings
Helps ensure consistency in design and layout
Interface should be tested with the same visual-spatial principles used in its design

16. Tim Berners-Lee graduated from the Queen's College at Oxford University, England, Whilst there he built his first computer with a soldering iron, TTL gates, an M6800 processor and an old television.
He spent two years with Plessey Telecommunications Ltd  (Poole, Dorset, UK) a major UK Telecom equipment manufacturer, working on distributed transaction systems, message relays, and bar code technology.
In 1978 Tim left Plessey to join D.G Nash Ltd (Ferndown, Dorset, UK), where he wrote among other things typesetting software for intelligent printers, and a multitasking operating system.
A year and a half spent as an independent consultant included a six month stint (Jun-Dec 1980)as consultant software engineer at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. Whilst there, he wrote for his own private use his first program for storing information including using random associations. Named "Enquire", and never published, this program formed the conceptual basis for the future development of the World Wide Web.
From 1981 until 1984, Tim worked at John Poole's Image Computer Systems Ltd, with technical design responsibility. Work here included real time control firmware, graphics and communications software, and a generic macro language. In 1984, he took up a fellowship at CERN, to work on distributed real-time systems for scientific data acquisition and system control. Among other things, he worked on FASTBUS system software and designed a heterogeneous remote procedure call system.
In 1989, he proposed a global hypertext project, to be known as the World Wide Web. Based on the earlier "Enquire" work, it was designed to allow people to work together by combining their knowledge in a web of hypertext documents. He wrote the first World Wide Web server, "httpd", and the first client, "WorldWideWeb" a what-you-see-is-what-you-get hypertext browser/editor which ran in the NeXTStep environment. This work was started in October 1990, and the program "WorldWideWeb" first made available within CERN in December, and on the Internet at large in the summer of 1991.

He spent two years with Plessey Telecommunications Ltd  (Poole, Dorset, UK) a major UK Telecom equipment manufacturer, working on distributed transaction systems, message relays, and bar code technology.
In 1978 Tim left Plessey to join D.G Nash Ltd (Ferndown, Dorset, UK), where he wrote among other things typesetting software for intelligent printers, and a multitasking operating system. A year and a half spent as an independent consultant included a six month stint (Jun-Dec 1980)as consultant software engineer at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. Whilst there, he wrote for his own private use his first program for storing information including using random associations. Named "Enquire", and never published, this program formed the conceptual basis for the future development of the World Wide Web.
From 1981 until 1984, Tim worked at John Poole's Image Computer Systems Ltd, with technical design responsibility. Work here included real time control firmware, graphics and communications software, and a generic macro language. In 1984, he took up a fellowship at CERN, to work on distributed real-time systems for scientific data acquisition and system control. Among other things, he worked on FASTBUS system software and designed a heterogeneous remote procedure call system.
In 1989, he proposed a global hypertext project, to be known as the World Wide Web. Based on the earlier "Enquire" work, it was designed to allow people to work together by combining their knowledge in a web of hypertext documents. He wrote the first World Wide Web server, "httpd", and the first client, "WorldWideWeb" a what-you-see-is-what-you-get hypertext browser/editor which ran in the NeXTStep environment. This work was started in October 1990, and the program "WorldWideWeb" first made available within CERN in December, and on the Internet at large in the summer of 1991.
